Letters Patent No. 108,621, dated October 25, i870.

IMPROVEMENT iN CHAlN-LINKS AND BARS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern.-

Be ib known that I, Darin A. Penoun'r, of Huilson City, inthe county of Hudson and State of Non' Jersey, have invented a new and nsefnl Improvement in Gold Chain-Link and Bar; and I hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description oi' the some, reference being had to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view oi' a bnr and link, made according to my invention.

Figure 2 isa longitudinal section of the seme.

Figure 3 is e. view of one of the sectional bars.

Figure 4 shows the slotted collet which holds the sectional bars in place npou o center support.

Figure 5 shows side and plan View oi' collars, which hold the ends and t on the shoulders of' the sectional bars.

Figure shows similar views or rue nnb which screws on the end of' the center support, and binds the whole together.

As heretofore made, the chain-links and bars for gold chains have been made by soldering the ports together. This is objectionable, for the reason that',y the solder is necessarily of a low degree of ineness, and the soldered parts soon tarnish. Besides, it is quite troublesome to solder the parte together in a durable and tasteful manner.

My invention enables one to entirely dispense with solder. Each part may be mede separately, and then brought together, and easily united.

The mode of constructing a chain-link and bar, nccording to my invention, maybe readily understood by inspecting the several iignres in the drawing.

nc of the sectional bars is sborra in iig. 3. :it each end is a shoulder. The slotted collet shown in iig. 4 is placed on the middle of the center support,

as shown in figs. 1 and 2, and the oars placed in the slots on the circumference of the collet.

A collar or washer, such as shown in iig. 5, is then placed over the ends of the bars, so as to fit snugly against the shoulders.

The nul'. shown in iig. 6 is then screwedl uponthe ends of the center piece or supporti, so as to fit against che collar or washer, and bind the whole together, so as to form a complete link and bar, as shown in fig. 1.

The scale in the drawing is enlarged to about double the usual size, so as to exhibit more clearly the several parts.

Having thus described my invention,

W'hat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. The improved chain-link and bar, herein described, composed of' a center support, collet and sectionalV hols, combined and held together substantially es sei: forth.

2. The combination of the center support, screw nuts, and slotted collet, is set forth.

3. The combination of the sectional bars, withy shoulders, the collars, and screw-nuts, substantially as set forth.
